Your Eye Starts Twitching And Jumping…This is What it Means And It’s Not Good!

For this condition even doctors are not sure what the real cause is. In most cases happens due to stress and fatigue or excessive amounts of caffeine, tobacco and alcohol.

Some kind of allergies or irritation, dry eyes or even for a no reason are few of the causes responsible for this condition.

But there are certain cases where eye twitching can be a symptom of a more severe neurological disorder like such as blepharospasm (an abnormal blinking or spasm of the eyelids) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Blepharospasm develops in mid to late adulthood and there are about 2000 cases every year in the US alone. It’s a condition which is more common in women than in men

If it discovered on time it is not serious. But if the condition progresses you might feel extra sensitivity to light, blurry vision and even your entire face to start twitching.

If the twitching last for few minutes that it is not big deal, but if it lasts for hours that it is a bit concerning.
